Eva Jackson and Eva Ruth Jackson are definitely not the same person. Ruth (Jackson) Oliver's daughter, Anna Smith, told me that Grace Kendall (Jackson) Rock had a twin sister who died in infancy. Eva Jackson is the twin. Subsequently, James Noble Jackson and Eudavilla Kendall Jackson named their daughter Eva Ruth Jackson.
